Listen to the sounds of February - the sounds of Liberty itself
Sounds of Lincoln and his backwoods wisdom
Let his words and thoughts of honesty and integrity soar past present
questions
Remember them as they resound through the halls of Congress and USA itself
Going forth until they reach the ears of pondering peoples and musing minds
Remember him as yesterday moves on towards tomorrow
Let modern minds hold fast to strengths of earlier times
Times of war and peace, of masterful speeches and gentle humor
Walk with "Honest Abe" though cobblestone streets of Springfield and D.C.
Ride circuit horses and covered carriages with this gentle giant
Deliver mail and paper wrapped packages to gentle farm folk
Watch solid timbers give birth to rugged rails
Listen as hastily written words melt into cherished, hallowed wonders
As "Four Score and Seven Years ago" becomes now and ever
And malice fades away and charity becomes reality
Look at the calendar that brings us back and sends us forward
Listen to the sounds of Lincoln and Liberty
They sing the sound of Freedom
As the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" continueson and on
May it forever ring in the hearts of countymen
In the hearts of all
